Second Holf Spurt Helps Seoholm F reshmon Seoson rom the start of the season it seemed to be a long year for the Freshman Basketball Team, but when the second half of the season started they turned it around. After going 1-8 during the first half, the team turned it around winning four out of five games and losing the one by only two points. Coach Whitfield accounted the turn around when he said that the team never got down and kept fighting for a win. Behind the strong playing of co-captain Rob Stucky and rebounding of Tim Buese, the team beat four teams they had previously lost to earlier in the season. Rob Stucky thought the team worked well together and really put it together in the second half. The co-captains of this year's team were Rob Stucky and Dave Van Meter, who also helped in the season. Other contributors were Scott Smith, Fred Hubacker, and Jeff Able who all had a starting role on the team. The coach of this year's freshman team was Dan Whitfield who works as a Youth Minister. He loves the game of basketball and thinks 'tit is a game everyone should try in their life. The team was a joy to work with. The players agree that it was a fun season and that Coach Whitfield did a terrific job with the team. With the season ending with this turn around, its that the players will continue their success into next season to give Seaholm another fine team. 0 Brad Kesselman FRESHMAN BASKETBALL 165

But with several bad breaks and very little luck, the final game left Seaholm with a disappointing 7-9-2 record. Co-captain Tom Newcomer summed up the season by saying We were a good team, but putting the ball in the net was our problem. Seaholm's first game against Lake Orion was a great start, for the Maples beat them 5-l. The following two games were also confidence boosters. The first against a tough Groves, the second against third ranked statewide Kim- ball, both ended in 1-1 ties. Then began a loosing streak that continued for six games. Then Seaholm won its last five matches. The Maples averaged 2.5 goals for, and only 1.9 against, per game. The best games were against Cranbrook and Andover. The Maples beat the highly skilled Cranbrook team 2-O, and defeated the first place SMA team, Andover, 3-2. The worst moment of the year was in the State Regionals game against Alpena. After tying 3-3, at the end of the regular time period, both teams went into a series of extra periods. In the third series, a sudden death shoot out, Alpena capitalized on a Seaholm mistake, winning the game 5-6 after a well fought battle. X The team was full of highly skilled players. junior David Appleford and senior john Cote, were named to the Second All-Area team. Honorable mentions went to Sophomore Alex O'Kuluch and Senior David Stucky. Awards given by the Coach included Best Sportsman to Matt Raymond, MVP to David Appleford, and Coaches' Awards to Adam Cermack and Doug Netzloff. I
